Annual Women's Retreat Part 2

Saturday broke a beautiful sunrise, morning stars still in the early dawn sky sparkling in the light. God was present, and we were aware...oh to be aware of the presence of God.


After another time of worship, we spent some time alone to have a quiet devotion.


We reconvened and Kim shared more of her story with us. Her story of how her life didn't turn out like she expected, but God had a greater plan. She shared how to save her life, she must lose it, abandon it to the control of God.

As we broke for free time, she challenged us to meet with God and ask Him what He would have us do, how He would have us proceed, with the knowledge that His best may not look like what we think it should.

Our evening session of worship and teaching ended too soon, and Kim was raw in her honesty and vulnerability. People can question the Bible, point fingers at churches or leadership or programming...but when you share your own testimony and there is evidence in your life of the movement of God - no one can question that.

Through Kim's strength in being real, we saw such evidence and it left us powerfully aware of God's hand on her life, and also on each of our own. We ended the night in prayer, praising Jesus and praying for His glory. No better way to close.
